Proserpine Whitsunday Junior Rugby League has started the season strong, showcasing remarkable skill and determination amongst their players. The club has already reached 300 registrations this year with a focus on creating a positive environment for everyone. The visiting team for the first home game, North Devils stated “the friendly people and welcoming environment left a positive impact; games played with good sportsmanship and in good spirit”.
The Under 6s played their first game for the season. With 25 kids registered this is a huge task for Coach, Zach Hoffman, and Manager, Ashlyn Valmadre. Luckily they were supported by plenty of willing volunteers to assist. All players travelled to Mackay for their second game; smiles were beaming, laughs were heard and spectators have the beginning of their rugby league journey etched in their memories.
Whilst the Under 14 girls had a bye last weekend, they did have a great first win against Brothers. They were relentless in their attacking prowess, dominating possession and pressuring their opponents. The girls team will play their 2nd home game this Saturday May 4th.
International grades have emerged with some victories amongst them through precise passing, defence and asserting their authority. Other games unfolded leaving disappointment on the field, yet determination to improve and learn in training and games. The season has just begun!!
